Also, the skin is also delicious and fatty, so it is good to make it into Yubiki or Aburi. It is also delicious when made into kobujime or carpaccio. However, you must be careful because there are poisonous spines not only on the dorsal fin but also on the operculum and anal fin.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6541\" style=\"width: 499px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6541\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6541\" src=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of Hairy stingfish (Onikasago)\" width=\"499\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago.jpg 640w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago-302x180.jpg 302w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6541\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The appearance of Hairy stingfish (Onikasago)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Common name: Frilly scorpionfish, Weedy scorpionfish, Weedy stingfish, raggy scorpionfish, Hairy stingfish<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Japanese name: Onikasago (\u9b3c\u7621\u9b5a\u3001\u9b3c\u7b20\u5b50)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Taiwan common name: \uff0d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Chinese common name: \uff0d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Korean common name: \uc465\uac10\ud3ad<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"vernacular ng-binding\" dir=\"auto\">French common name: Poisson arme<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Scientific name: <span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Scorpaenopsis cirrhosa (Thunberg, 1793)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6542\" style=\"width: 337px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6542\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6542\" src=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago-nigiri.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of Hairy stingfish (Onikasago) nigiri\" width=\"337\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago-nigiri.jpg 337w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago-nigiri-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sushiuniversity.jp\/basicknowledge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2025\/01\/Hairy-stingfish-Onikasago-nigiri-241x180.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6542\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The appearance of Hairy stingfish (Onikasago) nigiri<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nigiri sushi detail: Hairy stingfish (Onikasago) <a style=\"color: #000000;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nigiri sushi<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hairy stingfish (Onikasago) is distributed throughout Japan, from central Honshu and southwards.
